The LEAGUE AND COUNCIL OF
THIRTEEN.

EDITOR BULLETIN: - Now that
the election is over, and that the
Reform party has carried its ticket
and has everything its own way,
would it not be well TO dissolve the
League and forthwith suppress the
Committee Of Thirteen? There is
no possible excuse for continuing
such an organization. 1t has out
lived the circumstances which called
it into existence. So long as the
organization exists political and
social rcpose is impossible. 1t
creates unrest, eXcites antagonism,
and may lead to overt acts which will
put in jeopardy all that has been
accomplished, besides menacing the
independence of the country. The
law should be supreme; but it can
not be supreme so long as civil gov
eminent is subject to interference
by the agents of irresponsible armed
force. The attention of the Foreign
Representatives is respectfully
drawn to this matter, that they may
lend their influence for the preser-
walton of peace and the promulga-
ton of ideas that will quiet appre-
hension and give assurance for the
future. LAW AND ORDER.

THE COMING BOOM,

EDITOR BULLETN;-The ga
zette" is Loyalty working to get up
"boom," in accord with its pro-
misses during the revolutionary crisis
and before the election. Only let
the Reform party elect its own
ticket it urged, and confidence
would be restored while business
and industrial activity would he re-
sumed. But all the Gazette" can
advise is the fact that the sugar has
advanced in price. 1t is not stated
this rise was directly caused by the
Reform party although as much
may be inferred; but to offset this
is the failure of Wilder's railroad
scheme and Dillingham's land colo
nizaton enterprise. If there had
succeeded there would have been a
veritable "boom;" they failed
through causes well known, and this
puts damper upon industrial de-
velopment. The Reform ticket has
been elected, sugar has "riz;" but
where is the promised "boom," the
Inauguration of new industries, and
the investment of capital in perma-
nent improvements. The "horny-
handed sons of toll" are patiently
looking for the promised industrial
millennium. Is their faith to be
blighted, and "reform" cease to be
an expression for anything beyond
office hunting. SPECTATOR.

RELIGIOUS TEACHING IN SCHOOLS.

Teacher" in the Gazette, !"
takes up the subject of religious
teaching in schools, and draws a
distinct line between the religious
teaching which is forbidden in our
Government schools and what is
allowed. Teacher" approves of
the prohibition to teach in the
public schools denominational reli-
gion, or the peculiar tenets of a
sect, for the sufficient reason that
.'what one sect might consider reli-
gious teaching, another sect might
consider as opposed to religious
teaching" 1t is fact which
scarcely admits of rational contro-
versy, that no public school system
which enforces the teaching of the
tenets or dogmas of any religious
body, in a country or community
where different religious bodies
exist, is either just or fair; and the
only system which treats all alike
and may be therefore generally ac-
ceptable is that which excludes all
UNCONVENTIONAL teaching whatsoever.
To this may be added the words of
"Teacher," without fear of sue
cessful contradiction, that "the alb
sence of such teaching in the public
schools never harmed any human
being and never will" We are in

GERMAN LONGEVITY.

Germany is, to a greater extent
than is commonly suspected, land
Of old people. At the time of the last
census there were in the empire no
fewer than two hundred and thirty
two persons who had completed
their one hundredth year. OF these,
seventy-two were men and one hum
dred and sixty women. The Oldest
person in Germany was man in
his one hundred and twentieth year
the next was a man in his one hun
dred and eighteenth year; the next
was woman in her one hundred
and seventeenth year. There were
thirteen old fellows of one hundred
and and six, and ten danes of one
hundred and seven. A lady of one
hundred and fifteen was returned as
being spinster.-Glasgow Herald.

One Of the most unjust things of
which this Government is guilty, is
the manner of proving up pension
claims. To require the proof that a
man was sound when he was mustered
into the service. is to prove away the
testimony of its own agents and paid
officials. Every man mustered into
the service Of the United States as a
soldier, was examined by a mastering
officer as to soundness of body-at
least officers were paid for doing such
work-and the very fact that man
was mustered in on the certificate OF
the mastering officer, was Complete,
officially y-certifed proof, by the Gov
ernment's own official, that he was
sound. lie the Government of the
United States cannot stand by, or ac-
cept, the certificate Of its own agent,
acting as an expert, at the moment of
muster, what justice, Or reason, is
there in requiring affidavits Of neigh
bors, friends and comrades, made from
memory, many years afterwards? We
maintain that the certificate of the
mastering officer is all the proof of
soundness that should be required.
There seems to be no justice in any
other mode Of proof.

| Brewster, in his speech at the Reunion
at this place, told how the surplus in the
Treasury, which causes SO much uneasi-
terially lessened. "Let it be used," said
Brewster, Gin keeping the widows of Sol
diers from drudging over the wash-tub.'' -
That one simple xpression-though in
the right direction-is not comprehensive
enough. There are many ways in which
the surplus might be used to advantage
There are Soldiers widows, there are
needy Soldiers, and there are sur rplus
funds in the United States Treasury
What better opportunity could there be
for "equalizing"? We have maintained,
in conversation upon this subject, that
the Government paid us as an Individual
all it agreed to, and we had no complaint
to make. There is point in equity
however, to consider. When the Soldier
was paid in greenbacks, or the Govern
ment's notes, these lacked a good deal of
being worth as much as they are today.
1t is scarcely probable that an equaliza-
tion of pay could be successfully COM
puted and arranged, yet it has come to be
serious question with many thinking
men whether it would not be simple JUS
tice and yet not burdensome, to grant
pensions to all the survivors of the war,
and make inality of the whole pension
business. We are not advocating any
such thing as Service Pension, but we
dc advocate the Brewster idea-that Sol
diers' widows should be more literally
provided for, and that it should make no
difference when the Soldier died, whether
on the field of battle in 1s61-2-3-4-5, or at
home. in 1887.

The climate of central Texas is a
complex hybrid of torridity and frig-
idity. The heat begins about April
and continues with steadily increasing
vehemence till July, when, having
reached the top of the thermometer,
it remains steady and firm with little
demand" for couple Of months.
The weather then begins to abate
cautiously and serenely, lest one should
catch cold by the sudden change, till
about the first Of December, when it
lays aside all reserve and begins to get
in earnest. Then look out through
January and February! The intensity
of severity concentrates in what is
known as "Texas Norther." In the
morning the weather is fine and warm,
the doors and windows are thrown
open, and for comfort you go out
without coat on-that is, if you are
green in the State you do. Before
night the thermometer runs down in
the vicinity Of zero, the creeks and
rivers are frozen over, and you are
chilled to the center and warped and
twisted by the most severe and cutting
northerly wind possible to be imagined
Such, as | have heard, is the sudden
ness and severity of "Texas Norther." ="
